Do you have a heart for helping people? Interested in assisting to maintain health and quality of life? 

Aged care is a career with a difference - it makes a world of difference to people in later life and their families. Quality aged care can offer comfort, health, happiness and companionship at an important stage of life. This can be facilitated through strong collaborative care arrangements, and through a specialised knowledge of supports and interventions.

Learn skills to assist clients in a home setting or care setting with a range of specialised supports and interventions. Quality aged care is about collaborative partnerships, and you will learn to work with the client’s family and other established support network to facilitate these for improved client care. Our aged care courses have a hands-on focus to ensure you put the theory into practice as you learn.
